Farm and Homeschool Happenings

Since Matt has Mondays off, we always get to enjoy a long weekend. This weekend was no exception. Saturdays are normally spent doing farm and garden stuff. Let's see, we got gardens tilled, tomato plants staked (at least some of them...there are about 70 tomato plants out there!), grass mowed, and lots of other hard work stuff. :O) The Lord's Day was spent in church and visiting. (I missed my Sunday nap!) Then Monday was fun day! Matt and I got up early and headed off to Greenville. I was finally able to get my hands on some fresh cow's milk! Yippee! It resulted in some yummy homemade butter and some buttermilk...not to mention just fresh milk! (I'll be making cheese, Lord willing, today. Oh, and in the picture of the butter...you'll notice some cabbage...fresh out of the garden.) While we were in Greenville, we got some very-fresh-still-warm-doughnuts at a local bakery...Matt's favorite! Then, after accomplishing a few of those had-to-be-done chores, we set out for the lake. It was a beautiful day. Didn't fish today, just boating and swimming, and Katie did some innertubing. :O) You'll see in the bottom picture that it can make a kid really hungry. :O)
